Stood Up to Your Love

Though totally different in musical feel, today’s song mirrors yesterday’s in some ways. The music is darkly funky (or aspires to be) but the lyrics are a bit self-consciously grim.

If yesterday’s “Hasta” (below) had a bit of playful, if sardonic whimsy, “Stood Up” is decidedly darker and meaner.

There’s a nastiness to lines like “If this is the best love you can shove into my face…” that might give a clue as to why I have sometimes been known as the Bard of Bitterness, Denial, and Regret. Like you were wondering…
